A Little known Weekend Getaway from Bangalore..

A Little known Weekend Getaway from Bangalore..

Route :

Bangalore - Hosur - Denkanikotta - Anchetti - Billgundlu - Hogenekkal

I went only till Anchetti, Bangalore to Hosur is on the Golden Quad, no need to mention the Quality here, all flyovers(read Chandapura, Anekal & Attibele Junctions) are now Open so no stopping on the way to Hosur.

Just before you enter Hosur town(just before the Hosur town Flyover) take Right at the Signal towards Denkanikotta, Roads are bad for about 3 kms till the Dried Up Hosur Lake..

at the Lake the Road goes on the Left and the Right, Proceed on the Road towards the left, you will join the Denkanikotta Road, From here the road are "gorgeous" til D'Kotta.. Open fields and Grasslands on either side, almost no traffic at all, with an occasional house or shops..

The roads make you feel as if you are in Ireland.. ;-)

Watchout for Cattle, they can be found everywhere and they dont really like you invading their PrIvaCy.. Almost ran into a COW which gave me a very intimidating look and GROWL..

Denkanikiotta is a Quait town, nothing much there, rush thro it the 3 Kms of Town and you are out in the Open Roads Again..

The Ride till Anchetti is even more amazing, Road are newly Laid and Pases thro reserve Forests, The roads are filled with Curves bends and even a few Hair pin bends on the way up the hill and then ride further down towards Anchetti town, which is in the Valley.

Again a Small town, with a few decent Hotels to eat.. The Forest Rangers office is also here, in case you are interested to trek, you might need prior permission.

Proceed out of the Town and you again hit Beautiful uphill roads.. with higher hills in the background.. This takes you to Hogenekkal.

I stopped 10 kms from Anchetti Town when my ODO reading was 100Kms. proceed another 30kms and you will reach Hogenekkal Falls.

Trip Date - 14th Aug 2010

Decent one day trip into a Different world calm peaceful and green..
